DEDICATION. 



This Guide or Hand-Book is- respectfully- 
dedicated to Newell A. Stone, Frederick 
Cook, John W. Martin, present Commission- 
ers of Mount Hope ; George T. Stillson, the 
Superintendent, George G. Cooper, and James 
H. Kelly, who served for many years as Com- 
missioners with unwearying interest in the beau- 
tiful 'City of. the Dead," and to the lot owners. 



PREFACE. 

The want of a Guide or Hand-Book for 
Mount Hope Cemetery has long been felt by lot 
owners and the strangers who visit the place. 
To supply this want, the compilation and publi- 
cation of this volume was undertaken. It should 
be welcomed by every one who has a dear rela- 
tive or friend buried there, and by the thousands 
of visitors who seek the ground to admire all 
that is grand and beautiful in nature and the 
works of art, memorials of love and reverence 
to adorn the last resting place of those who are 
peacefully sleeping, awaiting the resurrection 
and glorious immortality. 

It cannot be expected that every one of the 
thousands of lots, avenues, paths, etc., can be 
mentioned in a work of this character. If it 
assists the reader in a general way in finding 
the most attractive objects and locations, it will 
accomplish what was designed by the author. 
A day's ramble through the Cemetery by one not 
thoroughly acquainted with the formation of the 
grounds, the main avenues and sections, would 
prove unsatisfactory. With the Guide n hand 



and an occasional glance at the diagram, an 
intelligent tour can be made in two or three 
hours. A drive can be made in less time and 
the principal objects viewed without leaving 
the carriage. There are nearly twelve thousand 
lots in the Cemetery, and it will be seen that it is 
an impossibility to mention more than a respect- 
able and representative fraction of them. Many 
very pretty lots, tombstones and monuments 
have nothing on them indicating the name of 
the owner or the person buried. " Father," 
" Mother," " Sister," " Brother," " Baby," " Pet," 
etc., convey no information to the simple tourist, 
while to visiting relative or friend they impart a 
world of meaning and awaken tender memories. 
Every citizen of Rochester has an interest in 
Mount Hope. 

" There is no flock, however watched and tended, 
But one dead lamb is there ! 
There is no fireside, howsoe'er defended, 
But has one vacant chair." 



HISTORICAL SKETCH. 



Soon after the incorporation of the City of 
Rochester, the matter of locating a new Cem- 
etery was agitated. Several localities were 
suggested. The lamented William A. Reynolds 
was in favor of selecting the western banks of 
Irondequoit Bay. 

On the 24th of August, 1836, in the Common 
Council, Alderman David Scoville offered a 
resolution that a committee be appointed to in- 
quire into the expediency of purchasing Silas 
Andrus' lot on the east side of the river " or 
any other lot in the city," for a burial ground 
and report at a future meeting of the Board. 
The first purchase was made of Silas Andrus, of 
Hartford, Conn., Jan. 2, 1837, being 53 T 8 ^- acres 
for which the then large sum of $100 an acre 
was paid. The earliest sale on record of this 
land as a distinct tract was April 30, 1817, when 
Elijah Northrup sold it to Eli Stillson, grand- 
father of the present Superintendent of Mount 
Hope, for $367. Mr. Stillson sold it to John 
Mastick, July 12, 1821, for $262, who sold it to 
Silas Andrus, January 1, 1822, for $287, and Mr. 



Andrus fifteen years later sold it to the City of 
Rochester for 15,386. Being just prior to the 
panic of 1837, values were greatly inflated. In- 
cluding this land the different purchases to the 
present day have been as follows :

DEDICATION OF MT. HOPE. 



The Cemetery was dedicated October 3, 1838, 
three months subsequent to the first interment. 
The dedicatory address was delivered by Rev. 
Pharcellus Church, pastor of the First Baptist 
Church of Rochester. The following extract is 
taken from his address : 

The rural and picturesque scenery .with which we are sur- 
rounded, strikingly harmonizes with the object which has called 
us together. We have come to consecrate a home for the dead 
in which they may rest secure from the encroachments of in- 
dustry and avarice till the last trumpet calls them to judgment. 
Among these sequestered shades the living tenants of a bustling 
city will soon find repose. 

Forty-seven years have fled since these words 
were uttered by the venerable preacher. Nearly 
forty-five thousand of our dead now sleep in the 
consecrated grounds, more, far more, than the 
population of the " bustling city " at the time 
of the dedication. Another half century and 
Mount Hope's inhabitants will exceed the pres- 
ent population of Rochester. With a thousand 
interments annually, it is not surprising that the 
interest of the living in caring for and beautify- 



IO 

ingthe grounds grows apace. There are many 
still living who heard the dedicatory address, 
but the great majority have joined the " in- 
numerable throng " before "The Great White 
Throne." 

The old entrance, Superintendent's office, 
waiting-rooms, etc., built in 1859, at a cost of a 
trifle over $10,000, were removed 1874, and the 
present entrance and structure erected at a cost 
of $17,000. James H. Kelly, Newell A. Stone 
and William S. Smith were then commissioners. 
In i860 the present chapel and receiving vault 
were built at cost of $10,000. The structure has 
a pleasing exterior, but a gloomy, unpleasant 
interior, and is not of sufficient size. Of late 
years much attention has been given by the lot 
owners, who number over 10,000, to the improve- 
ment of the grounds. Many costlv and beauti- 
ful monuments and vaults have been erected, 
creditable to the living and enduring memorials 
to the dead. 

The valley to the left of the entrance and in 
front of the chapel was an unsightly swamp, 
unsuitable for burial purposes. The late Geo. 
D. Stillson, who, more than any other man made 
Mount Hope the beautiful place it is, construct- 
ed a tunnel through it, draining the water into 
the Genesee river. The tunnel runs directly 
under the Chapel and Receiving Vault. It is a 



[I 



grand monument to his engineering skill. He 
rests from his labors near by, and many a tribute 
is paid to his memory by those who pass his 
tomb. Mount Hope was his idol and loving 
care. It is fitting that he sleeps amid its beauties. 
The lands thus reclaimed and utilized by him, 
now form one of the handsomest localities in 
the Cemetery. [See engraving]. 



Perpetual Repair Contract. 



The adoption of an ordinance by the City of 
Rochester, in 1872, provides for the perpetual 
repair and care of lots and graves, from the 
interest of a certain sum deposited for that pur- 
pose. The lot owner, in availing himor herself 
of this privilege is assured of the fulfillment of 
the obligation on the part of the City, through 
the Commissioners and Superintendent of the 
Cemetery, aside from the satisfaction of contri- 
buting to the general appearance of the ground. 

The following are the leading provisions of 
the ordinance : 

Sec. 1. Any person may pay to the Treasurer 
of Mt. Hope Cemetery, a sum of money not less 
than ten or more than one thousand dollars, for 
the purpose of keeping in order any lot or parcel 



12 



of land in such Cemetery, and thereafter the 
interest obtained on such sum, shall, from time 
to time, as occasion may require, be expended 
on such lot or parcel of land by or under the 
direction of the Commissioners of said Cemetery. 

Sec. 2. The Treasurer of Mt. Hope Cemetery 
shall immediately deposit such sums of money 
in such Savings Bank or banks as the Commis- 
sioners of said Cemetery shall direct, which 
moneys shall be kept in special deposit on 
interest apart from all other moneys belonging 
to Mt. Hope Cemetery. 

Sec. 7. In no event shall the City ever be 
liable to repay the principal paid under this 
ordinance, but shall be liable for the faithful 
discharge of its provisions. 

Many persons who invested in the perpetual 
repair fund have since died, leaving no relative 
or friend to look after their lots or graves. Yet 
they are cared for and the interest on investment 
expended on them and will continue to be. The 
other rules and regulations of the Cemetery are 
temporary, to be changed as expediency re- 
quires, but the above contract is unalterable. 
The neat appearance of the Dr. Carver lot is a 
notable illustration of the working of the ordi- 
nance.

MOUNT HOPE. 

Nature designed Mount Hope for the last 
resting place of those who " pass beyond the 
vale." The ridges, the hills, the valleys and 
dells, the sloping banks and terraced walks and 
paths, the lawns, the trees whose trunks are en- 
twined with brilliantly tinted woodbine, the 
willows with their arching branches, the stately 
oak and chestnut, among whose limbs the pretty 
squirrel disports, suggests that here the " weary 
are at rest." 

Here the great mother guards her holy trust, 

Spreads her green mantle o'er the sleeping dust ; 

Here glows the sunshine, here the branches wave, 

And birds yield song, flowers' fragrance round the graves. 

Here oft to hold communion do we stray, 

Here droops our mourning memory when away, 

And e'er when years have passed our homeward feet, 

Seek first with eager haste this spot to greet, 

And the fond hope lives ever in our breast, 

When death too claims us, here our dust shall rest. 

[A. B. Street.} 
'The entrance building for offices and waiting 
rooms, is of cut stone and is a creditable struc- 
ture. The gate-ways add to its appearance. 
Inside the gate the visitor enters upon a wide, 
smooth, graveled roadway. Passing a handsome 
drinking fountain on the right, the ground rises 
gradually to Indian Trail Avenue, with a carriage 
road and flag walk. The road on the left gently 
slopes into the valley, to the doors of the Chapel 



14 

and continues on to Indian Trail Avenue, near 
Sylvan Waters; it is called Ravine Avenue. 
Just beyond the point of bifurcation of these 
avenues, is a large circular lawn ; in the center 
a flower mound thirty feet in diameter, and in 
the center of that; an elegant fountain which 
throws hundreds of sparkling jets of water high 
into the air. Between the Chapel and the car- 
riage road on the right before mentioned, is the 
fine vault of the late Gen. Jacob Gould and the 
granite mausoleum of Charles Rau. The view 
in this valley is faithfully reproduced in the 
engraving. The two largest monuments seen 
on the second lawn are those of John E. Morey, 
Sr., and of the late Dr. John B. Elwood. The 
Morey monument is one of the best proportion- 
ed in Mount Hope, and is very conspicuous 
from many points of view ; the bases and shaft 
are of granite ; a marble figure representing 
" Faith," surmounts the shaft; it is an exceed- 
ingly fine piece of sculpture, the work of an 
eminent Italian sculptor, and is much admired. 
South-westerly and on the west side of Ravine 
Avenue in Section F. is the family vault of the 
late Lewis H. Morgan. It is of red sand stone 
and the interior is catacombed. Lewis H. Morgan 
was one of the most distinguished ethnological 
and archaeological scholars and authors of his 
time. At his death, 1881, he was President of the 



i5 

American Association for the advancement of 
science. 

Before ascending to Indian Trail Avenue, for 
the purpose of economizing time and labor, we 
turn to the right and enter upon Section D. one^ 
of the nicest sections in the Cemetery. The 
whole of it is in full view from the public high- 
way Mount Hope Avenue. The ground slopes 
gradually from the ridge toward the Avenue. 
There are many nice monuments and lots on this 
section, notably those of Lewis Brooks, Richards 
and Weaver, James Stewart, Junius Judson, 
Azariah Boody, Wm. Maguire, Caroline M. 
Thompson, Royal C. Knapp, C. Priem, M. 
Filon. A pretty headstone bearing engraved 
Masonic emblems, marks the grave of the late 
George W. Aldridge. In this section are the 
lots of Geo. A. Stone, James Vick, Jr., (dark 
granite headstone), Geo. and Conrad Herzber- 
ger, Henry Norden, Calvin Townsend, John 
G. Mutchler, Col. E. E. Sill, George W. Sill, 
F. Goetzman, Don Alonzo Watson, Thomas 
Leighton, H. Austin Brewster, Philander Cun- 
ningham, Romanta Hart, C. F. Wolters, Wm. 
Graebe, Henry L. Becker, Philip Bender, B. L. 
Sheldon, E. P. Shaffer. H. T. King, E. E. Bausch, 
S. J. Arnold, F. Fritzsche, F. Roth, John Hartel, 
Henry Walzer, Norman Day, (an elegant monu- 
ment). We here cross the northern extension of 



i6 

Indian Trail Avenue, and are upon Sec. C. 
which extends to the limits of the Cemetery on 
the west and north. The Genesee river runs at 
the foot of the bluff. A wedge shaped piece of 
land which runs south on the east side of Indian 
Trail Avenue, to a point in rear of the Chapel, 
in included in Sec. C. Linden Ave. is the main 
avenue running north and south, and Maple 
Ave. east and west in Sec. C. This ground is 
laid out in handsome and spacious lots, and 
there are many elegant and costly monuments. 
In the center is a large flower mound and a 
beautiful fountain. Among conspicuous monu- 
ments and lots are those of Casper Eckhardt, 
George W. Archer, John Vicinus, O. W. Moore, 
James Campbell, A. J. Hatch, Elon Huntington, 
Wm. N. Sage, E. S. Hayward, Simon L. Brew- 
ster, Levi S. Fulton, R. A. Sibley, Wright and 
David Todd, David Upcon, Judge James L. 
Angle and J. A. Stull. The Fulton monument, 
though not large, is very handsome. This and the 
Eckhardt monument is of Richmond granite, the 
shafts surmounted with figures. Both came 
from the works of H. S. Hebard. Geo. H. 
Thompson's lot is close to the edge of the bluff. 
Here rests the late noble man whose name is 
inscribed on the fine granite monument. He 
was for a number of years a commissioner of 
Mount Hope, and took great pride in beauti- 



i7 

fying and making it one of the loveliest Cem- 
eteries in the country. He strongly urged the 
author of this work to engage in the labor of its 
preparation and publication. He was greatly 
beloved and respected in the City of Rochester, 
where he was born and where he died. His was 
an active life of usefulness to himself and 
others. Peace to his ashes. In this immediate 
vicinity are the lots of Newell A. Stone and 
Frederick Cook, Commissioners of Mt. Hope, 
Jacob Gerling and A. G. Yates. A granite 
sarcophagus graces the Yates lot. The cap has 
polished edges and upon it is an ornamental 
cross. It was put up by Trott & Weigand. 
F. Ziegler, R. Sauerteig, A. Spahn, and other 
prominent Germans of Rochester have in Sec. C. 
near the fountain, almost directly in the rear of 
the Superintendent's dwelling house a cluster of 
fine lots. The Sauerteig monument is a very 
pretty one. 

In this section are also the lots of Philip 
Will, H. Bartholomay, Col. S. S. Eddy, D. L. 
Johnston, Philip Block, F. Schlegel, H. S. 
Briggs, Geo. H. Newell, Kate Lee Ashley, (here 
is buried the lamented Col. A. T. Lee), H. T. 
Huntington, Calvin, Nathan, Elon and Geo. 
Huntington, Martin Joiner, Benjamin McFar- 
lin, Wm. Knight, Calvin Huson, Chas. F. Smith, 
Dr. T. A. Proctor, John Bower, Chas. W. Briggs, 



i8 

Wm. H. Bosworth, M. J. Monroe, Mrs. Anna G. 
Christensen, (lately deceased), F. Ruckdeschel. 
On the left, ascending by stone steps to the 
surface of a terraced bluff, we are on a plateau 
where are many very handsome lots. This is 
Sec. A. We note the lots of H. H. Warner, S. 
V. McDowell, Frank W. Embry, and the late 
Dr. D. M. Shipman. There is a fine monument 
on the latter. Especially worthy of study are 
the head stones on the lot of Mr. McDowell. 
They are of statuary marble and have artistically 
carved flowers and vines on the panels. They 
were made by Trott & Weigand. Close by was 
lately laid to rest John W. Canfield, who was 
one of Rochester's most prominent young busi- 
ness men. His death was generally lamented. 
A little south of this Wm. B. Burke has a fine 
lot. Mr. Warner's lot ere long will be supplied 
with a monument creditable to the cultivated 
taste and liberality of that gentleman. Before 
leaving this.spot notice what a beautiful view of 
the river and city can be obtained. Walking 
easterly and descending to Linden Avenue, near 
its junction with Maple Avenue, we re-enter 
Sec. C. We here confront the colossal monument 
of the late Isaac Butts. He who was recently 
so prominent in the political, social and business 
circles of the country, sleeps here, and beside 
him his beloved wife Mary, who died blessed by 



i9 

thousands for a multitude of generous deeds of 
charity. Just on the right a Lockport limestone 
monument denotes the burial place of Daniel 
Anthony, who had a world wide reputation as 
one of the original abolitionists, the friend of 
the oppressed in all lands. The monument was 
erected by his son, the Hon. D. R. Anthony, of 
Kansas. It bears on its face the words " Human- 
ity," "Liberty," "Equality," "Justice." He 
ended his labors here Nov. 25th, 1862. His 
mantle fell on the shoulders of his talented and 
philanthropic daughter, Susan B. Anthony, and 
all the world admires how worthily she has 
borne it. Here also are the lots of D. C. Ellis, 
J. W. McKindley, Gerry S. Copeland, and the 
lamented John W. McElhenney. The monu- 
ment on the lot of Geo. D. Waite is a fine one. 
In this vicinity, in Sec. A. a tombstone marks the 
spot where lies the dust of William Carter, who 
was the first person buried in the Cemetery. An 
inscription records the event. Giles Carter, a 
son of the deceased, is still living in Rochester. 
His father's interment occurred Aug. 18, 1838. 
Quite near to Mr. Carter's is the tomb of good 
old Prof. Dewey of High School fame, and 
whose memory is cherished by the " Old School 
Boys" of Rochester. He died in 1867, aged 84. 
He was a venerated instructor. Another pioneer, 
Josiah Bissell, of stage coach fame, and close 



20 

by Zebulon and Martha, the father and mother 
of Henry S. Hebard, sleep peacefully. Andrew 
Semple and wife, father and mother of Andrew 
M. Semple, have here awaited for many years 
the summons of the putting on of immortality. 

We have faced to the south on Sec. C. and 
are back of the Chapel. Here are the stately 
monuments and fine lots of John Robb and 
Samuel Wilder. On the right is the elevated lot 
of A. J. Johnson. The front wall is faced with 
red sandstone, with steps of the same material 
leading to the surface. Here reposes Johnson I. 
Robbins,. for years a prominent resident of 
Rochester. Directly over the chapel is buried 
Geo. B. Harris, who for years was a prominent 
fireman and public officer. No one knew bet- 
ter the history of Rochester and its old and 
leading citizens than he did. The late Henry 
Wray is buried near the Johnson lot. We note 
here also the lot of D. M. Dewey, located in the 
early days of the Cemetery. 

Turning half around to the right, via Glen 
Ave., we descend into the finest valley in the 
Cemetery. Sees. U and R. are on our left. On the 
western slope of the hill is located the Reynolds 
lot, one of the handsomest in Mount Hope. 
The heavy granite coping is in pleasing contrast 
with the green sward and its paths of white 
pebbles. The family monument, of granite, is 



21 



an elegant one. The tablets bear the inscrip- 
tions, " Abelard Reynolds, born 1785 ; died 
1878." " William A. Reynolds, born 1810 ; died 
1872. " Here also sleeps the sleep of the blessed, 
Mary Hart, the beloved wife of Mortimer F. 
Reynolds. She departed this life in 1879. The 
relict of the lamented Abelard Reynolds reached 
her hundredth year Sept. 22d, 1884. It will be 
but a little while before she is laid beside her 
late husband and son. It needs no stately pile 
of marble or granite to commemorate the virtues 
and lives of Abelard and William A. Reynolds. 
One has only to cast his eye northward over the 
bustling City of Rochester to see their enduring 
memorial. 

The lots of Dr. Thos. Arner, Ira Cook, (Sec. W.) 
and A. S. Mann, (Sec. R.) are on this slope. 
Each has a costly monument. The shaft of Mr. 
Mann's supports a large marble figure repre- 
senting " Faith." In the east bank of Sec. R. fa- 
cing Glen Ave., is the fine vault of Mrs. Mary 
Fitch. Near the Reynolds lot, lately there was 
given to mother earth the mortality of the wife of 
Policeman George Long. A brown stone mon- 
ument just beyond marks the tomb of the la*te 
Dr. L. Kuichling, father of Emil Kuichling. 

Ascending a flight of steps on our way to the 
summit, or Rochester Hill, a small and pretty 
monument marks the spot where sleeps Dr. 



22 

John Fonda Whitbeck, who died Dec. 8, 1880, 
an event which carried poignant sorrow into 
hundreds of households where he had been the 
loved and revered physician for thirty years. 
Society generally mourned his loss, and the 
City of Rochester lost one of its most eminent 
professional men, one who in his ministrations 
to the sick knew not the distinctions of wealth 
and poverty. His kindness and aid to the 
younger members of the profession, made him 
their idol. His services at the City Hospital 
will ever be gratefully remembered. He had 
served as President of the Monroe County 
Medical Society, City Medical Society, and was 
a member of the State and National societies. 
All of these bodies took appropriate action on 
his death, Dr. Chas. Buckley and others paying 
eloquent tributes to his memory. As prelate of 
Cyrene Commandery he was cotemporaneous 
with Abelard Reynolds of Monroe Command- 
ery, and both now sleep in Mount Hope, very 
near each other, while a little further up the hill 
his friend and beloved brother in the profession, 
Dr. H. F. Montgomery is at rest. He was born 
afClaverack, Columbia Co., Sept. 27, 1812. His 
wife Mrs. L. E. Whitbeck, Dr. John W. Whit- 
beck and Mrs. C. R. Parsons survive him. 

Just northwest of this spot is the pretty plat 
of Judge John S. Morgan. 



23 

Originally there was a large knoll on the 
north side of this prominence, and it was known 
as "Revolutionary Hill," not " Patriot Hill," 
and herein 1841, the bones of Lieut. Boyd and 
his com patriots in Sullivan's army were interred 
with great pomp and ceremony. It was intend- 
ed also as the burial place of revolutionary 
soldiers. The bones of Lieut. Boyd were placed 
in a wooden urn, which crumbled from expos- 
ure to the weather, and they became scattered. 
Some of them were secured by persons now re- 
siding in Rochester and are kept by them as 
relics. There were those who proclaimed that 
the bones were not those of Lieut Boyd, but Mr. 
George H. Harris, the most eminent authority 
in Western New York on the subject, produces 
incontrovertible proof that they were. The 
knoll was cut down in 1864 by Chauncey Par- 
sons, who was the Superintendent, obliterating 
the historic spot. 

Gather him to his grave again, 

And solemnly and softly lay, 
Beneath the verdure of the plain, 

The Warrior's scattered bones away. 

By the removal of the knoll the slope was 
made to form an ellipses forty feet in diameter. 

The summit of this section is called Rochester 
Hill. The pedestal of the monument of Robert 
Hunter supports a cross, and a broken column of 



24 

granite on the same lot indicates the grave of 
Ex-Mayor A. Carter Wilder. All the members 
of the Rochester, Montgomery, Child, Hart and 
Hunter families who have departed this life are 
buried here, including Col. Nathaniel Rochester 
who died in 1831, and after whom the City of 
Rochester was named ; and Jonathan Child who 
was the first Mayor of the City, in 1834. Brevet- 
Major Charles S. Montgomery, who commanded 
the 5th N. Y., S. V. Regt., and who was killed 
in action before Petersburg, Va., Feb. 6, 1865, 
sleeps here. 

Freedom hollows with her tread, 
The silent cities of the dead, 
And beautiful in death are they 
Who proudly fall in her array. 

Close by is the tomb of Enos Stone, the first 
settler in Rochester, and the graves of others 
noted as the early pioneers of the Flower City. 

Here also awaits the last trumpet call, Harvey 
F. Montgomery, who was one of the most promi- 
nent physicians of Rochester. His memory will 
always be cherished. Glen Avenue separates 
sections N. and R. 

Having noted so many of the prominent objects 
on this section, the tourist has two routes open 
to him, first by crossing directly to Indian Trail 
Avenue, second, by returning to the entrance 
point. The latter route is the one we will take, 



25 

first remarking that Section W. is west or toward 
the river. The most prominent object there is 
the tomb and monument of Judge Wm. Buell, 
who left this sphere many years ago. Down in 
a dell on this section are interred most of the 
bodies removed from the old Buffalo and Monroe 
Streets burying grounds. The graves do not 
present the appearance of having much care. 
This would be a good place to compare the 
workings of the present perpetual contract 
system. 

As we start for the Indian Trail Avenue, sec- 
tion B. is on our left or north. The family lot 
of George C. Buell is here nicely located. It is 
enclosed by a free stone fence, and graced by a 
fine monument. A tomb stone a little to the 
right bears this inscription : " Wickins Killick, 
his wife and five children who died within the 
space of ten days in September, 1854, of cholera. 
Finely situated is the family lot of the late 
Colon G. Wilson and Henry C. Daniels. Here 
only a few weeks ago were deposited the remains 
of the beloved wife of the latter. Her love of 
Mt. Hope when living was a passion. 

We are again on Indian Trail Avenue facing 
south. Section U. is in the valley on our right, 
and Section F. after passing the south line of 
Section C. on our left. In Sections U. and R. 
are the tombs of John T. Lacey, Joseph Depoe 



26 

and Aaron Lovecraft. The sloping bank is 
dotted with graves, and presents a handsome ap- 
pearance. We pass on our left the lots and 
monuments of Raphael Beach, Ezra Jones, Seth 
C. Jones and Edward Roggen. On the crest of 
the ridge, Section F. near the vault of Lewis 
H. Morgan, is the lot, surrounded with a fine 
stone coping, of John Weiss, on which much 
money and care has been expended. A large 
grass plat defined by Hope and Indian Trail 
Avenues, was formerly the Firemen's lot. Sec- 
tion K. is on the south side of Hope Avenue, 
and in conformation is like unto the sole of a 
man's foot. Almost the first grave seen is that 
of Porter P. Pierce, who was murdered "in 
Rochester in 1848, an incident remembered with 
great distinctness by the elderly residents of the 
City. On the old Firemen's lot are the burial 
places of G. Tallinger, Alfred Bell, Roswell 
Hart, and Dr. Jonas Jones, all having tasty 
and elegant monuments, of monolith, obelisk 
and sarcophagus styles. On the rounding 
corner of Hope and Ravine Avenues, is where 
George D. Stillson awaiteth the time when this 
mortality shall put on immortality. It is also 
the family lot of George T. Stillson. On the 
east side of Ravine Avenue, on Section L. is the 
grave and monument of Elias Pond, and near 



27 

the Stillson lot is the burial lot of George and 
Thomas Raines. 

Here on our left commences Section G. the 
ground rising toward the south with consider- 
able abruptness to the summit, thirty feet above 
the level of Indian Trail Avenue. Section N. is 
on our right. To save steps we notice a few of 
the lots and graves on the western slope of Sec- 
tion G. reserving the summit, eastern and south- 
ern slopes for a visit further on. Here are the 
lots of Judge Strong, Dr. .Frederick F. Backus, 
John W. Tallman and Charles H. Chapin. The 
latter is enclosed with an iron fence. The pedes- 
tal of the monument supports a carved figure of 
*- Hope," with upturned face and uplifted arm. 
Here rests Mr. Chapin. A head stone at the 
grave of his daughter, is similar to the one on 
the lot of W. F. Cogswell, more specifically 
described in another place. The next lots are 
those of E. O. Sage and C. F. Paine. The 
family burial place of Dr. E. M. Moore is here. 
On the opposite side of the Avenue, in Section 
M. are the fine monuments and lots of Deacon 
Oren Sage and Edwin Pancost. Just beyond and 
down the hill is where the late Judge E. Darwin 
Smith rests; a modest monument records the fact. 
On the left, in Section G. an evergreen hedge 
encloses the lot of the late Isaac Ashley. A few 
feet away is the lot, enclosed by an iron fence. 



28 

where is buried the late Martin Briggs, and by 
his side reposes Hamlet D. Scrantom, an ex- 
Mayor of Rochester, and for years a commis- 
sioner of the Cemetery. Opposite is the lot of 
Hiram Blanchard, where is interred the lamented 
Hamilton H. Howard. The late John Hay- 
wood's is close by. In Sec. M. opposite the lot 
of Martin Briggs is the tomb of the late Dr. B. 
F. Gilkeson, whose memory is cherished by his 
professional brethren and by thousands to 
whom he had administered in the capacity of a 
physician. He was a noble man, and an enter- 
prising, progressive citizen. Here is the grave of 
Joseph Curtis, who was a prominent citizen of 
Rochester. Closer to the Avenue rests Capt. 
Byron P. Thrasher, who laid down his life in 
one of the many battles of the rebellion. 

Ex-Mayor Charles J. Hill rests in his lot on 
the east side of the Avenue. He was born in 
Woodbury, Conn., April 13th, 1796, and removed 
to the Genesee country in 1816, and became a 
citizen of Rochester. He commenced the mill- 
ing business in 1831, and pursued it until I876. 
He was president of the Pioneer Association 
and had held many offices of public trust, con- 
ferred by his fellow citizens. He was genial 
and sympathetic, quick to feel for the sorrow of 
others. His attachment to old friends and 
employees was remarkable, instanced in the late 



2 9 

Charles Buckley, who was in his service for 
forty years. He gave fame to the City of 
Rochester, and was vitally interested in its 
prosperity. He died July 19th, 1883, beyond the 
four score years. The world was better and 
happier for his having lived in it, and he sleeps 
remembered and honored by all and his deeds of 
charity and loving kindness do follow him. 

A marble slab supported in a horizontal posi- 
tion by marble columns marks the tomb of 
James K. Livingston. Close by and on the same 
side, are the burial places of the late ex-Mayor 
Isaac Hills, Thomas Kempshall and Silas O. 
Smith. In this last lot rests ex-Mayor Edward 
M. Smith, who died in 1884, while acting as 
U. S. Consul at Manheim, Germany. The monu- 
ment lately erected to the memory of Mr. Smith 
is one of the latest and prettiest styles of monu- 
mental work in the Cemetery. It is of Quincy 
granite, dark grayish color, of the recumbent 
cross style, resting on polished granite bases. 
The base is about 8 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 4 
feet high. It has antique lettering. It came 
from the manufactory of H. S. Hebard. 

In this immediate locality is the lot and grave 
of Everard Peck, who was one of the pioneers 
of Western New York and prominently identi- 
fied with its history. A brief biography will 
not be inappropriate. 



3° 

Everard Peck was born in Berlin, Conn., in 
1 791 ; came to Rochester in 1816, when the place 
had less than 400 inhabitants. His original oc- 
cupation of book-seller and book-binder led him 
to the publication of a village newspaper, the 
Rochester Telegram, 1818, and to the establish- 
ment of a large paper mill in connection there- 
with. Retiring from that business a few years 
later, he devoted himself during the rest of his 
life to banking pursuits, being connected, suc- 
cessively, with the Bank of Orleans, the 
Rochester City Bank and the old Commercial 
Bank. He was actively interested in many of 
the charitable and educational institutions of 
the City, being one of the founders of the 
Orphan Asylum and largely instrumental in the 
establishment of the University of Rochester. 
He died on the 9th of February, 1854, respected 
as one of the most useful and upright of our 
citizens. 

Observe from where we stand the lots of Dr. 
James W. Smith, ex-Mayor Levi A. Ward and 
of Wm. Brewster, who was for many years a 
Commissioner of the Cemetery. Also the stately 
monument on the lot of Louis Chapin. Cedar 
Avenue, will take us along the southern border 
of Sec. M. the western slope being occupied 
with the single grave divisions. 

It will repay the tourist to step over there for 




AS

a few minutes. A board at the head of a grave, 
notifies in Chinese letters, that the body of Quan 
Hi rests there. His age, date of death, etc., 
is given. Quan Hi was a laundryman who con- 
ducted business on State street, Rochester, at 
the time of his death, 1876. The interment was 
under the management of Jeffreys, the under- 
taker, and the ceremonies were performed by 
Chinese, in accordance with their custom. Quan 
Hi was the only Chinaman ever buried here. 
In the fall of 1884, Chinamen in New York cor- 
responded with Mr. Jeffreys in relation to the 
exhumation of the body and its shipment to 
China. A few weeks later, without assistance, 
the remains were disinterred by his countrymen, 
who came on from New York, and were subse- 
quently sent to the Celestial Empire for re-inter- 
ment. 

By a narrow path we ascend the southern slope 
of the hill, Sec. G. to notice the lots of the late 
Frederick Whittlesey, Dr. Levi Ward, Wm. 
Burke, Judge Addison Gardiner, Judge Samuel 
L. Selden, George J.- Whitney and John Allen, 
the latter an ex-Mayor of Rochester, who was 
known as the " poor man's friend," and whose 
memory is cherished by hundreds. The lot is 
graced by an elegant monument, erected by his 
sons, one of whom, Robert, has since been laid 
by his side. A beautiful sarcophagus has been 



3 2 

erected to the memory of Mr. Whitney. Samuel 
D. Porter, that good man, is buried near here. 
Close by is a fine lot with one of the finest monu- 
ments in Mount Hope. The shaft supports an 
urn which is draped with the National flag. The 
inscription reads " Lieut. Wm. Kidd, 2d U. S. 
infantry, killed at Bull Run, August 30, 1862, 
aged 19 years." Turning to the east we pass 
Dell Avenue, notice the lots ot Wm. H. Perkins, 
who was killed in a railroad accident, Wm. 
Mumford, Daniel Scoville, Wm. Pitkin, H. F. 
Atkinson. Here lies the wife of the great 
revivalist Charles G. Finney. A beautiful rustic 
marble cross marks the peaceful abode of the 
wife of Hobart F. Atkinson. A flight of granite 
steps takes us to the lot of Edmond Lyon. A 
massive granite coping encloses it with stone 
walls, deep in the ground. It is catacombed and 
arranged with stone sepulchers. The monu- 
ment is a fine one, granite bases and a marble 
shaft, supporting a nicely executed figure " The 
Angel of Peace." A little to the right lies 
Warham Whitney, and Gen. John Williams 
sleeps his last sleep beside him. A little further 
on are the lots of N. G. Hawley, James W. 
Sawyer, George Hollister, and Joseph Putnam. 
Here rests I. Henry Putnam of the Old 13th N. 
Y. S. V. The next lot is that of Henry B. 
O'Rielly. Lieut. Henry O'Rielly, who was killed 



33 

in battle, May 5th, 1862, while attached to the 
Excelsior Brigade, is buried here. 

On a circular mound close at hand is a plain 
monument bearing the inscription, " Myron 
Holley, born in Salisbury, Conn., April 29th, 
1776. Died in Rochester, N. Y., March 4, 1841. 
He trusted in God and loved his neighbor. 
Dedicated in 1 844. Erected by the Liberty party 
of the United States of America, to the memory 
of Myron Holley, the friend of the slave, and 
the most effective as well as one of the earliest 
founders of that party." It is said that the cost 
of the monument was defrayed by penny con- 
tributions. A little further north are the lots of 
Gen. L. B. Swan, Robert Hunter, ex-Mayor 
Samuel G. Andrews, W. H. Cheney, James 
Breck, J. B. Robertson, Jesse Congdon and 
Luther Tucker. The lot of the late Aaron 
Erickson is made strikingly attractive by a mag- 
nificent figure of " The Weary Pilgrim," recum- 
bent upon a solid and appropriate base — the 
work of Papotti, a great Italian sculptor. 

In the same lot and east of the monument is 
the burying place of Grilman H. Perkins. Pretty 
tomb stones have been erected to the memory of 
his dead children. A few feet north east is the 
grave of Gen. E. G. Marshall, of "Old 13th " 
fame. A monument in sarcophagus style attracts 



34 

the closest attention of the observer. A sheaf 
of grain is nicely carved on the lid. The gen- 
eral was buried here August 5th, 1883. 

The most elegant thing in the way of a head 
stone in the cemetery, marks the grave of the late 
Mrs. Wm. F. Cogswell. It is of pure white 
American statuary marble, Gothic style, the 
front panel having exquisitely carved upon it a 
cross entwined with a Passion vine and flowers. 
It was made at the establishment of H. S. 
Hebard. 

Notice here the lots of Jacob Howe, A. J. 
Langworthy and Amon Bronson. The grave of 
David K. Cartter, father of Judge Cartter, of 
Washington, is on the northern slope of this 
section. At a point nearly opposite of where 
we are standing is a dell, or the old tunnel with 
terraced banks. This is fifty feet deep and 150 
feet in diameter at the top. We have finished 
Sec. G. 

Turning so as to face southwest, Second 
Avenue runs a little to the right between See's. 
O. and y. The Potter's field is on the west side 
of the section also on Sec. Y. while the single 
grave localities are on Y. and the south border 
of Sec. M. Cedar Ave. being the defining line 
between the sections. We will go through 
Second Avenue to Grove Avenue, the boundary 
line between the old and. the new grounds.

Standing on this elevation, the outlook over 
the new portion of the cemetery is grand. There 
are many who prefer the level, new grounds to 
the old, and have transferred the bodies of their 
friends thereto. Still the hills, ravines, dells,, 
terraced slopes and stately trees of the old part 
are lingering in our memory and one cannot but 
love them. It has been the dwelling place of 
many of our kindred, and for us, when our mis- 
sion is ended, to lie apart from them is not a 
pleasurable reflection. We will now proceed to 
the 

FIREMEN'S MONUMENT. 

Grove Avenue is the dividing line between 
the old and new grounds. A walk of five min- 
utes westwardly takes you to the Firemen's 
Monument, situated on a high bluff overlooking 
the Genesee river, the City of Rochester, Lake 
Ontario and the surrounding country. It is a 
fitting resting place for the heroes who lie there 
awaiting the last command of the Chief Engineer 
of the Universe. 

At its dedication, September 9th, 1880, there 
was an imposing display by the civic societies of 
the city. Andrew M. Semple, President of the 
Rochester Fire Department, was president of 
the day. Hon. James H. Kelly delivered the 
address and a historical sketch of the Fire; 



36 

Department. The cost of the monument was 
about $8,000. On the east side of the monument 
there are twenty-seven little tombstones, and on 
the west sixteen, in honor of the individual fire- 
men whose names they bear. The earliest date 
of death inscribed upon the marble is that of 
Thomas M. Rathbun, 1827. 

The monument reflects great credit on the 
manufacturer, H. S. Hebard. It is of St. Johns- 
bury granite, and is without a flaw or blemish. 
It is of the Egyptian Doric style. We give its 
dimensions as follows : The platform is twenty- 
four feet and three inches square, two feet high, 
with square projecting corners, each surmounted 
with a beautiful granite vase. There are three 
half-circle steps on the front. From the plat- 
form an excellent view of the city can be ob- 
tained. At the foot of the bluff rolls the Genesee. 
The words "Fire Department" is the only in- 
scription on the work. The first base is eight 
feet six inches square and one foot nine inches 
high. The second base is seven feet square by 
two feet ten inches high. The die is five feet 
square, five feet high, with beaded corners. The 
cap is six feet seven and a half inches square 
and five feet high, the lower portion having 
carved wings and globes representing Time and 
Eternity. The base for the shaft is four feet 
eight inches square and one foot nine inches 



37 

high. The shaft is three feet six inches square 
and seventeen feet six inches high. On each 
face of the top of the shaft are engraved wreaths. 
The cap of the shaft is four feet six inches square 
by three feet four inches in heighth. The base 
for the figure is three feet ten inches square by 
two feet one inch in heighth. The figure is that 
of a fireman, wearing a fire hat, with coat on the 
left arm, in the attitude of rest on his return 
from a fire. The pose is excellent, and the 
figure»is in every respect symmetrical. It is 
eight feet nine inches in heighth. The whole 
heighth of the monument is fifty feet. The lot or 
grounds have been nicely graded, with the 
intent to set out the monument and make it 
conspicuous. 



THROUGH THE NEW GROUNDS. 



In making the journey through the new 
grounds, we can save much time by commencing 
at the junction of Greentree and Grove Avenues, 
east of Forest Avenue, stopping meanwhile to 
notice the neat monument of Justin Riley. East 
of this is the lot and monument of Joel Eaton 3 
and on the right, headstones mark the graves of 
the wives of George Potter and Robert Ren- 
frew. We note also the lots and tombstones of 



3§ 

H. J. Weaver, C. C. Hayden, John Stack, Jacob 
Biesham, Joseph Hubecker, John Crede, John 
Turner, John Worms and John C. Shutte. On 
the north side of Evergreen Avenue, is the 
nicely kept lot of Charles Perkins. The in- 
scription on a fine headstone states that his be- 
loved daughter Emma, called away in the 
blossoming of life, sleeps here. Almost directly 
north of the Carver monument is the neat lot of 
George Weldon, and here rests his mother, two 
sisters and brothers, Henry and the lamented 
Walter Weldon. Near by is the lot of Eli Weed, 
with several fine head stones. 

At the time the new grounds were laid out the 
Jewish citizens had broken away from the 
orthodox custom so long observed of burying 
their dead in congregational lots in the order 
of death. Meyer Greentree purchased a plat of 
ground on Evergreen Avenue ioo feet square, 
and, after reserving a spacious lot for himself, 
gave lots to others of his faith. In this same 
sub-division of Range 3, other Jewish associa- 
tions, also individuals have lots, with reserved 
ground for the poor and strangers of their 
nationality. Lavish but judicious display is 
made by the wealthy lot-owners in beautifying 
their grounds, keeping them in order and erect- 
ing monuments and tombstones. The most 
striking is the Funkenstein monument, erected 



39 

by the widow of the late Levi Funkenstein, thus 
showing her love and affection for her deceased 
husband. On one face is the inscription " In 
memory of my sister Deborah and infant, lost at 
sea in the City of Glasgow, 1854." The north 
face has the inscription Phineas N. and Sophia 
Cardoza. 

A nice monument notes the resting place of 
Julius Bachmann. The pedestal has a marble 
figure leaning upon an anchor. A world of 
thought is conveyed in the words " Our good 
brother " on the reverse side of the tombstone of 
Joseph Buehler. A tasty and costly monument is 
on the lot, and which marks the grave of Henry 
Rosenberg. Then there are the lots of Lewis 
Stern, Gerson Hochsteter, Moses Bronner, 
Joseph Moerel, David Abeles, David Cauffman, 
Ludwig Hechinger, Morris Savage, Louis W. 
Moore, Henry Levi, Moses Blumenstiel, Samuel 
Meyer. On the original Greentree lot are the 
burial places of N. Rosenfield, D. E. Moseley, 
M. Hart, Susan Holtz, H. Morofsky, Mark 
Soloman, H. Lempert, S. Rubens, R. Jacobs, B. 
Hermen, S. Rosenbaum, M. Goldwater, H. 
Britenstool, M. Weinberg, L. Flesheimer, A. 
Rosenthal, R. Schmitz, Mrs. Steefel, Mrs. Oppen- 
heimer, F. R. Theis, A. Hydecker, L. Holtz, S. 
Landau, M. Goldsmith, J. Rothchild, I. M. 
Wile, I Wile, J. Wile, M. E. Sloman. In 



40 

another division are the lots of E. S. Ettenheimer, 
Joseph and Gabriel Wile, Simon Hays, D. 
Rosenberg, M. A. Savage, Elias Wollf, J. Cauff- 
man, Moses Hays, M. L. Gutman, I. Rice, E. M. 
Moerel, Lewis Stern, Samuel Stein, H. 
Michaels and A. Adler. On the Stein lot two 
little mounds cover the beloved remains of the 
two little children of Wm. Miller. Elias Wollf 
was the first person of his faith buried in Mount 
Hope out of the orthodox custom, thus marking 
an era of no little moment. 



JAMES VICK. 



Facing Greentree Avenue, on Range 2, lies 
one who did more than any other man to en- 
courage and cultivate the taste for flowers. His 
was a household name all over this broad land 
and in foreign countries. He reigned supreme 
in the floral kingdom. Many, many years will 
come and go before the name of James Vick is for- 
gotten. It will always be held in grateful remem- 
brance. He was supremely happy in making 
others happy. He had no selfish thoughts or 
actions. He lived not for himself but for all 
mankind. In the church, Sunday school, the 
dwelling and work shop he cast sunshine all 
around him. His memory will be ever green and 



4i 

fondly cherished. His life on earth is the as- 
surance that he dwells in the Floral Paradise 
above. He made the wilderness to blossom like 
the rose. What greater tribute can be paid to 

man ? 

How sweet, how sweet are the lilies, 
And how we wait for their bloom 
We gather them in their glory 
And scatter them over his tomb. 

A splendid granite obelisk monument, by 
many considered the nicest in its proportions, on 
the grounds, has been erected. A lily is cut on 
the west face of the obelisk. 

On the next lot north is the grave of Capt. E. 
C. Williams. Passing along is seen the red Scotch 
marble monument of the lamented Dr. T. H. 
F. Hall, also the monument and tombstones of 
M. N. Van Zandt, D. Copeland, Wm. N. Emer- 
son, John F. Selye, N. Tamblingson, Joseph F. 
Ely, W. D. Oviatt, M. Normington, Jacob 
Garson, L. C. Spencer and J. Gifford. The lot of 
Geo. Zimmer, at the corner of Grove and Second 
Avenues, is attractive, with a neat iron fence and 
marble monument. Nearly opposite the Green- 
tree plat is the grave with a pretty headstone of 
Benjamin Brown, who was a railroad engineer, 
and who met with an accidental death. Nearer 
the Carver monument is the grave of Wm. H. 
Dawson, another railroad engineer who met an 



42 

untimely death while on duty. The Dawson lot 
is one of the prettiest in the Cemetery. 

Here we stand before the Carver monument, 
the highest (excepting the Firemen's) and most 
costly in Mount Hope. It was fashioned after 
the Trojan column at Rome, and manufactured 
by Peter Pitkin & Son, Rochester. The figure 
which surmounts the shaft was made by H. S. 
Hebard in the similitude of the one on the 
monument at Plymouth Rock. Dr. Carver was 
directly descended from the Carvers who came 
over in the Mayflower. The tablet on the west 
face has this inscription : " Dr. Carver was the 
father of the Pacific railroad. With him origi- 
nated the thought of connecting the Atlantic and 
Pacific oceans by railroad." West are the lots 
of A. McLean, Gilbert G. McPherson and others. 

On lot 177, but a few steps west of the Carver 
monument, sleeps one of the Nation's heroes, 
Lieut. Frederick G. Kislingbury, a victim of the 
Greeley Arctic expedition. Loving hands have 
placed his body here, and it is hoped that ere 
long sympathetic countrymen will erect a suit- 
able monument to his memory. Woodland 
Avenue is south-west of this. 

A little south and west of the Carver monu- 
ment is the lot of Henry H. Craig, where sleep 
his beloved dead. It is neatly kept and beauti- 
fully located. Oak Avenue is next south of 



43 

Evergreen Avenue, and Meadow Avenue divides 
the new ground, which is not yet laid out into 
lots. 

On either side of the Avenue are the burial 
lots of E. W. Tucker, Sigmund Stettheimer, H. 
N. Allen, Isaac Post, E. W. Pollay, Dr. Joseph 
A. Biegler, Samuel Ro.senblatt, Jacob Mock, 
Samuel Busentheil, Jacob Blaesi, James Mont- 
gomery, Wm. H. Thomas, Hiram Smith, O. L. 
Angevine, W. H.Sheperd, John F. Stroh and C. 
H. and F. A. Rowe. Most of these have fine 
monuments. Near here is the lot of J. A. 
Hoekstra. The large granite monuments of 
Drs. Carpenter and Swinburne are elegant ones, 
and are quite conspicuous. The beloved phy- 
sician, Dr. George Swinburne sleeps here, 
where his daughter, Mrs. Alice Newman, 
has erected the beautiful memorial. Be- 
tween these monuments pretty tombstones mark 
where loving hands have placed the earthly re- 
mains of Kit Carson and Orra Maud, the beloved 
children of Hon. W. F. Cody, (Buffalo Bill). We 
turn into Elm Avenue and proceed to Second 
Avenue, between Ranges One and Two. On the 
right hand is the pretty monument of L. N. 
Millener. We pass the lots of Charles C. 
Brown, John A. Holmes, Lyman King and the 
large and fine monument of Austin Crittenden. 
Directly west of this point is the handsome lot 



44 

of John C. Smith. Resting here is the late 
George B. Oberst, suddenly cut off in his youth. 

Conspicuous here is the elegant monument of 
Morris S. Jackson, erected to the memory of 
William F. Rice and S. Coraline Jackson, who 
were killed in a railroad accident while on their 
wedding tour. Here are the lots of Joseph Beir, 
Frederick Wurtz, Thomas Kirley; and to the 
right is a cluster of nice monuments on the 
grounds of C. A. Kellogg, F. E. Day, J. O. 
Howard, Wm. R. Booth and Franklin 
Hinchey, Dr. L. R. Herrick, the renowned 
patent medicine man, D. A. Woodbury, 
N. Hayward, A. Rohr, Richard Dransfield, 
George W. and Charles T. Crouch, L. A. Pratt, 
Thos. Peart, P. M. Bromley, Capt. Dan. Brom- 
ley, Wm. Corning, Wm. Diehl. Wm. O'Neil, John 
Hulett, H. B. McGonegal, I. Tower, C. Widman, 
C. C. Starkweather, and S. G. Bush. These last 
are on Range 4. The Crouch monument is of 
Richmond granite, cottage style, with an urn. 
The McGonegal monument is 26 feet high, of 
Richmond granite, and both came from the 
works of H. S. Hebard. 

We started on the new grounds, at the north- 
west corner of Range 3. We note the lots on 
this Range, in addition to those especially 
mentioned above, of A. W. Mudge, John Ferner, 
John A. Davis, John B. Simmerlink, Philip 



45 

Stape, Joseph Katz, E. Higgins, Wm. R. Mason, 
E. Morse, A. J. Reibling, John Mogridge, 
S. Lemon, Geo. R. Ryan, S. C. Van Hooser,

Keeler, Ira M. Ludington, Hondorf, Araan, 
Horschler, Barnes, Tallinger and Ehwald, 
Shannon, Kneale, James Ratcliffe, Sellinger. 

On Range 2, we find the lots of H. H. Edger- 
ton, L. A. Pratt, J. Shatz, E. Ocumpaugh, Dr. 
Tegg, L. Lowenthal, D. D. Campbell, Sabey, 
Salter, John Baird, E. B. Beck, Stilwell, . Henry

Hall, Edward Harris, N. S. Phelps, Geo. Bently, 
Wm. Oliver, F. Heilbronn, S. C. Donnelly, Wm. 
Zorn, Wm. H. Jones, H. C. Boughton," F. S. 
Stebbins. 

On Range One, we also find the lots of Wm. 
Corning, Isaac De Mallie, John Dent, A. Sorn- 
berger, P. Neerner, Thos. Knowles, W. H. Yer- 
kes, C. Gucker, G. Pauckner, Corbin, Kirby, 
Forcheler, Hooper, Schoenfield, U. Steinheiser. 

On Range 4, in addition to the lots noticed 
above are those of S. G. Curtice, (granite cop- 



4 6 

ing around the grave), S. G. Wetmore, Rich, 
Kallusch, Shoecraft, G. Lauterbach, Diehl, 
Wm. Hamilton, (from whom the ground was 
purchased), Kipphut, W.J. McKelvey. 

As we have gone over only one half of the 
territory to be visited, we must not tarry longer. 

It is proposed to erect a Crematory on the 
river side, west of the Firemen's Monument. 

We have returned to Grove Avenue and 
crossed through Sec. O. to Indian Trail Avenue, 
a little east of where we left it. In Sec. O. near 
the Scotch lot is the burial lot of Frederick 
Lauer; also the old lots of the Jewish congrega- 
tions. One of them is now occasionally used 
for burials. An elevated lot on Sec. K. over- 
looking the tunnel before mentioned, the image 
of a deer being conspicuous, is that of Ezra 
Taylor. Indian Trail Avenue has its easterly 
terminus at East Avenue, which runs north and 
south, and is the eastern boundary avenue of the 
old grounds. Mt. Hope avenue is the public 
highway. 

In Sec. S. at the junction of Indian Trail, 
Ravine and Fifth Avenues, is the handsome, 
circular and elevated lot of Hon. Freeman 
Clarke. A stone and iron railing encloses, and 
a fine and tall granite monument graces it. 
On the apex of the shaft is a finely cut cross, 
which is mirrored in Sylvan Waters.

SYLVAN WATERS, 

The only thing of the kind in Mount Hope is 
very pretty. [See engraving]. Thousands of 
beautiful gold fish live in its waters, and the 
terraced banks invite the tired tourists to rest 
awhile, and while resting we can repeat the 
words : 

" O World ! so few the years we live, 
Would that the life which thou dost give 

Were life indeed ! 
Alas ! thy sorrows fall so fast, 
Our happiest hour is when at last 
The soul is freed." 
If we take Fifth Avenue, the most direct 
route, on our way back to the entrance, we shall 
miss many fine sights on Ravine, Highland, 
Hillside and Prospect Avenues and Observatory 
Hill, the southern slope of which is directly 
before us. We will therefore take* a ramble 
through Ravine, Hillside and Highland Ave- 
nues, in good time retracing our steps to take a 
final and fresh start. In the short jaunt spoken 
of, we take in portions of Sections L. K. and I. 
the southern parts of them. We note the lot 
of Rev. Charles E. Furman, a neat tomb stone 
marking where rests the beloved preacher. On 
the east side of Hillside Ave. is the grave of 
Edwin Scrantom (Old Citizen). The late Judge 
Geo. W. Rawson and Wm. S. Bishop, rest not 



48 

far away. The family burying ground of the 
late W. Jerome Rogers is here, and to the right, 
up the slope, on Sec. L. a neat marble monu- 
ment tells where reposes the wife of George 
Darling. On Sec. I. is the lot of Rev. James 
B. Shaw, and his precious dead there await the 
coming of the Lord. Eastward is the lot of 
Henry L. Fish. A granite pedestal supports 
two carved marble figures of a little child and 
a dog. Ex-Mayor John C. Nash is buried in a 
lot on Sec. F. while the lot of N. Osburn, which 
has a fine monument, is on Sec. L. A handsome 
lot made by filling up the ravine on Sec. K. on 
the left, is that of I. H. Dewey. It bears a fine 
Richmond granite monument, obelisk style, 
with a die and three bases. The shaft weighs 
about eleven tons. It is of a lightish gray color 
and came from the works of H. S. Hebard. S. 
W. D. Moore is buried near here. A neat marble 
monument marks the spot. 

Further north and on Ravine Ave. are the lots' 
of C. B. Woodworth, Edward Brewster and the 
late Lyman Churchill, Francis Gorton, Martin 
Breck, F. De Lano, Dr. H. W. Dean. The 
monuments are all fine ones. But we must 
return to Sylvan Waters. There is enough more 
in the localities we have just visited to occupy 
the attention of the tourist for several hours. 
East of Sylvan Waters and close by is the ele- 



49 

gant granite monument of Seth Green. The 
shaft supports a finely carved figure of " Hope," 
leaning on an anchor and with uplifted hand. 
Here the revered father and mother of Seth and 
Monroe A. Green sleep. Near it is the granite 
monument of H. D. Colvin, and a little further 
north rests George W. Parsons, with a headstone 
erected by the Sunday school scholars of the 
Central Church. Between Fifth and East Ave- 
nues is the fine granite obelisk of the late James 
E. Hayden. The marble monument on the lot of 
Charles J. Hayden is attractive. A granite slab 
in a horizontal position covers the tomb of the 
late Ezra M. Parsons. These are in Sec. S. as 
are also the lots of Henry S. Hebard, A. Vickery, 
Geo. P, Draper, David Hoyt and the late Rev. 
John Mandeville. We must tarry here a minute 
or two to notice the lot of John Quin, who 
spares no labor in its care. It is enclosed with 
an iron railing set in granite posts. The shaft 
of the monument was once one of the fluted 
limestone columns in the Main street porch of 
the old Eagle hotel building, the present site of 
Powers's building. It has a square cut stone cap 
and on that a stone cross. Several members of 
the family of Mr. Quin are buried here. Near 
here are the lots of Phillip J. Meyer and Jacob 
Schwendler, the latter having a sandstone monu- 
ment. 



5° 

Going back to Fifth Avenue, the ground on 
our left is on the eastern slope of Observatory 
Hill. On either side of the Avenue we notice 
the lots and monuments of Hiram Davis, J. 
Hubbell, L. Bauer, Rufus W. Main, Tbos. S. 
Gilford, Wm. Y. Baker, Robert Turner, Timothy 
Wallace, Ex-Mayor Joseph Field, Ex-Judge 
Theron R. Strong and D. W. Fish. 

Before going upon the summit of Observ- 
atory Hill, Sec. I. we will step a little to our 
right to see where lies Charles Backus, the 
once famous humorist and minstrel. Many a 
one to whose amusement and delight he catered 
in his and their lifetime, sleep near him. A fine 
granite monument has been erected to his mem- 
ory by his wife. 

The summit of Observatory Hill where we 
now stand was for years disgraced by a 
dilapidated wooden tower. It has been 
demolished, and it is hoped, ere many years have 
passed, will be replaced with a fine stone observ- 
atory. The elevation is the most sightly in all 
Mount Hope. From it a birds-eye view of the 
surrounding country can be obtained. Broad 
fields, the vast nurseries, the pride of Roches- 
ter and the wonder of the world, farms yellow 
with golden grain, hills and valleys dotted with 
thriving villages, Lake Ontario, Irondequoit 
Bay, the Flower City, with its massive and costly 



5' 

buildings, broad tree-lined avenues, the exten- 
sive public buildings of the County ; the glitter- 
ing lines of steel with trains of cars speeding 
over them, form an enchanting picture. We are 
nearly two hundred feet above the level of the 
Erie canal aqueduct in the city. Below us and 
on our right is the distributing water works 
reservoir of the city. [See engraving]. From 
a magnificent fountain in the center of the reser- 
voir, spring high into the air twenty-one jets of 
sparkling water. The central jet throws a 
column of water six inches in diameter. On the 
summit of the hill the lots of Wm. T. Simpson, 
Ebenezer Bowen, Gideon Cobb and Hiram Red- 
field are noticed. The neat lot of James H. Kelly 
is part way down the western slope, near High- 
land Avenue. It is hoped that the level hill top 
will not be further encroached upon with graves. 
Again on Fifth and East Avenues, we visit 
the lots of Wm. Eastwood, Wm. Churchill, Asa 
Sprague, Joseph Hall, Charles and Homer Rob- 
inson, G. W. Leavenworth, Joseph Sibley, E. R. 
Hallowell, E. P. Willis, Isaac Rulifson and A. 
Babcock. These are on See's. T. and V. All of 
these lots have fine monuments. A little further 
north is the monument of the late H. S. Potter. 
It is a neat work. Two marble figures are on 
the pedestal, one in a standing position placing 
a crown on the head of the one kneeling. The 



52 

monument of Col. James Brackett and the late 
A. J. Brackett is very pretty. It has a gothic 
roof supported by polished Scotch granite pil- 
lars. In the alcove thus formed is a carved 
marble figure clasping a cross. We pass the 
lots and admire the monuments of Mrs. E. F. 
C. Emerson, Frederick Goodrich, Joseph C. 
Stone, G. W. Burbank (a rustic marble cross) and 
C. A. Jones. Near by was lately laid to rest 
Joseph Stone, father of Newell A. Stone. He 
had lived a decade beyond four score years, and 
had seen Rochester grow from the wilderness to 
a beautiful city. 

Two large plats of ground in Sec. V. between 
Fifth and East Avenues are enclosed by high 
evergreen hedges, which prevent the beautiful 
lots and works of art from being seen from the 
outside. 

Here are the family burying grounds of D. 
W. Powers, Oscar Craig, Judge George F. Dan- 
forth, Seth H. Terry, Lewis Selye, Dr. W. W. 
Ely, Dr. Edward T. Ely, Elizabeth G. Elwood, 
Wm. L. Halsey, George H. Mumford, Patrick 
Barry, Ira Dunlap. The monuments here are 
fine and much admired after access to the ground 
is gained. The fine and costly monument of 
George Ellwanger bears the carved marble 
figure of St. John the Divine, the work of Papotti 
of Rome, in a listening attitude and recording 



53 

the revelation from Heaven. "And I heard a voice 
from Heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are 
the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth : 
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from 
their labors ; and their works do follow them." 
Here rests Henry Brooks Ellwanger, the author 
of many instructive works on roses. His life 
was spent among the roses which he passionate- 
ly loved. Surely his works do follow him an'd 
his name will be honored wherever roses bloom. 
We will here leave Sec. V. by descending a 
flight of stone steps to Prospect Avenue, and 
proceed to the foot of the hill lying between 
Observatory Hill and the entrance, known as 
Sec. H. Here is the tomb of Vincent Mathews. 
L. L. D. An inscription on the monument states 
that he was the father of the Bar of Western New 
York. Higher up the slope are the fine granite 
monuments of ex-Mayor Elijah F. Smith, Myron 
Strong, A. M. Schemerhorn, Samuel Miller and 
Martin Galusha. But we must not tarry but 
return to East Avenue, and while walking to- 
ward the entrance notice the lots and monu- 
ments of D. R. Barton, A. F. and G. P. Wolcott, 
P. B. Viele, John and Joseph Cowles, Mary L. 
Cleminson, S. M. Spencer, George G. Cooper, 
and J. Margrander. On Sec. L. on a lot en- 
closed by a hedge, Lieut. Geo. B. Force, 108th 
Regt., killed at Antietam is buried. 



54 

Our tour is almost ended. A few minutes wil . 
suffice to pass over the lawns in front of the 
Chapel and back of the entrance building. The 
family vault of Peter Pitkin is on the right and 
that of Dr. A. Pratt, nearly opposite on the left. 
A tombstone notes the grave of the late John 
Morton. The monuments on the lots of J. E. 
Morey, Col John G. Klinck, G. W. Allen, F. 
Nusslin, T. A. Newton, L. D. Patterson, D. A. 
Woodbury, S. Sloan, and Dr. John B. Elwood, 
are nice ones, the latter one of the finest in the 
Cemetery. This lot is on the northern border 
of Sec. L. Right here is the opportunity for a 
person to make, the choice between granite 
and marble for a monument. On this plat is 
the lot of the late Thomas Parsons, father of 
Mayor C. R. Parsons. Noticeable here also are 
the lots with pretty tombstones of B. Frank 
Enos, Col. F. A. Schoeffel and the late Beverley 
W. Jones. These places are on either side of 
Elwood Avenue. 

Just south of the Morey monument was 
recently laid to rest, Dr. A. M. Bennett, who was 
a highly respected physician of Rochester and 
prominent in social circles, and near it is the lot 
of A. Mosely. Two statuary marble headstones, 
with sheafs of wheat finely engraved upon the 
panels draws forth admiration. They are the 
work of Trott & Weigand, monument makers, 



55 

Mount Hope Avenue. The late wife of John C. 
McQuatters sleeps in a fine lot on this plat, 
south side of Elwood Avenue. 



RETROSPECTIVE. 



The following places were not noted in the 
ramble : On the south-west part of Sec. Y. are 
the lots of the Episcopal Churches, Truant House, 
House of Refuge, Home of the Friendless, and 
Industrial School. The Odd Fellows' lot is on 
the north side of Sec. O. and the University lot 
is on the north-east corner of the same section. 
The Scotch Society lot is near the Odd Fellows' 
grounds. 

In Sec. M. is the Masonic burial lot, old one, and 
the graves there indicate the faithfulness with 
which the principles of the Order in succoring 
the sick and caring for the dead are observed. 
At the time of the Chicago fire the society in 
Rochester had forwarded $1,500 to the sufferers 
when word was received that further aid was 
not needed. The balance of the money, $400 
was voted to the purchase of a new lot in Range 
2, on the new grounds. 

The following were not noticed in the regu- 
lar tour. —Sec. A. W. B. Morse. Sec. M. 
Grove S. Gilbert (Rochester's lamented artist)^ 



56 

C. Hanford, H. S. Fairchild, Harriet Lockhart, 
Sec. R. Dr. M. M. Mathews. Sec. W. D. M. 
Anthony. Sec. G. Gen. I. F. Quinby, E. H. 
Hollister, H. W. Strong. Sec. K. S. G. Steele, 
John Steele. Sec. L. F. Zimmer. Sec. H. 
A. McWhorter, Chas. H. Yost. Sec. T. David 
Dickey. Sec. V. C. T. Amsden, A. M. Has- 
tings, S. D. Walbridge. Sec. O. Dr. M. Ley- 
den, F. Tully. On the lot of the late Alvah 
Strong, is buried the child of Dr. H. S. Miller. 



We have gone over an immense amount 
of ground, and have been economical of time 
and exertion. Without the Guide it would have 
been impossible to have accomplished and seen 
so much. A person wishing to visit any par- 
ticular locality and that alone will find the 
shortest and easiest route in the Guide. The 
sections are, geographically, puzzlingly lettered, 
requiring specific directions to find their loca- 
tion. This difficulty is not encountered in the 
numbering of the ranges on the new grounds. 

STATISTICAL INFORMATION. 

Previous to 1850 interments in Mount Hope 
and, in fact, in all the cemeteries were under the 
direction of a City Sexton, elected by the people. 
Wm. G. Russell, David W. Allen and John H. 



57 

Thompson served in that capacity for many- 
years. In 1850 James Hair was appointed Sup- 
erintendent of Mount Hope, under the control 
of the Commissioners. He served until his 
death, 1864, with the exception of a few 
months, when his place was supplied by James 
G. Benton. Chauncey Parsons was his suc- 
cessor and acted as such for a year and a half, 
when George D. Stillson was appointed. He 
served from 1865 to 1881, when he was laid to 
rest. His son, George T. Stillson, the present 
Superintendent, succeeded him. It may be ap- 
propriately mentioned here that almost simul- 
taneously with the advent of superintendents of 
the Cemetery, the Jeffreys undertaking establish- 
ment now located at 155 State street, Rochester, 
was inaugurated. Its first interment was in 
1854, and since then it has officiated at the last 
rites of sepulcher for over ten thousand of our 
beloved dead, giving the utmost satisfaction. It 
has kept more than even progress with the vast 
and pleasing improvements that have been made 
in the conduct of funerals, the cerements of the 
dead and burial ceremonies. In fact it has 
initiated most of the new modes. Its name is 
familiar in nearly every household in Rochester 
and vicinity. It enjoys almost unlimited knowl- 
edge of the cemeteries of Rochester, and can 
give information concerning them hardly ob- 



58 

tainable elsewhere. The improved, scientific 
method of embalming, first introduced here and 
pursued by this house, Is far superior to the 
ancient custom of enwrapping the body in cloth 
saturated with preservatives and has done away 
with the unsightly ice box, while preserving the 
remains in perfect naturalness and life like 
appearance for an indefinite length of time. 
The growing custom of having private burials 
necessitates more than ever the services of such 
an experienced undertaking house. 

At his appointment as Superintendent of 
Mount Hope Cemetery, Mr. George D. Stillson 
prevailed upon his life-long friend, Mr. Daniel 
E. Harris, to accept the position of Assistant 
Superintendent, which position the latter con- 
tinued to occupy until his death, which occurred 
at Mount Hope January 14, 1875. 

From the date of his first residence in Roch- 
ester, in 1814, Mr. Harris' family history was 
closely identified with that of Mount Hope. 
From infancy to manhood, and the closing years 
of his life, were spent upon, or in the near 
vicinity of the Cemetery grounds. He witnessed 
the many changes occurring in the gradual 
development of this wildest of Nature's retreats 
to its present perfect state of rural beauty ; and 
it was especially fitting that his earthly work 
should cease there, and his remains repose in the 



59 

ground which has received so much care at his 
hands. In the exercise of his duties at Mount 
Hope Mr. Harris was brought into close rela- 
tions with thousands of our citizens at times 
when their hearts were crushed with grief, and 
his gentle manner and ever tender sympathy won 
their respect, and bound them to him in a friend- 
ship that is still strong and bright. His grave 
is a short distance south of the entrance, in Sec- 
tion E. 

A vast amount of confusion as to the ownership 
of lots in Mount Hope was occasioned by the 
loss of records in the care of John B. Robertson 
comptroller of the city in 1857. He had charge 
of the funds and records. A few of the latter 
were found in Canada, but even to this day the 
loss of the books is felt. 



REMARKS. 



The writer in his walks through the Cemetery 
found many quaint, queer, and, to him, amusing 
inscriptions on tombstones. Those who had 
them written, however, saw nothing in them but 
sentiments of reverence and love. It would be 
in questionable taste to reproduce them here. 
Those who are curious in such matters are 



6o 

referred to publications on church yard litera- 
ture. 

Mount Hope is not the property of a private 
corporation, but is owned by the City of Roch- 
ester. Within a few years iron pipes have been 
laid through the grounds and pure water from 
Hemlock Lake is supplied in frequent tanks for 
the purpose of watering the graves and lawns. 
The necessity for another public entrance grows 
stronger every year. It would seem that the 
establishment of a line of carriages to convey 
visitors through or to any part of the grounds 
would prove remunerative. 

In preparing this volume the author had much 
valuable assistance from Superintendent George 
T. Stillson, who is a worthy successor of his 
lamented father. His worth and ability is read- 
ily testified to by the commissioners and lot 
owners. To Assistant Superintendent Mande- 
ville thanks are also given. Patrick Gaffney, 
who has been foreman for many years, has a 
retentive memory and is an ever present 
encyclopedia of the Cemetery. He also has 
thanks for assistance. Bowdish & Hoagland, 
of the Arcade Photo, Co. have been kind in fur- 
nishing views in the Cemetery for use in the 
Guide. 



A Chapter on Flowers. 



The old notion that floral memorial and 
funeral pieces must be composed entirely of 
white flowers, has happily given way to the con- 
viction that all colors are suitable for the pur- 
pose. Some of the most beautiful pieces ever 
seen, have this season been issued from the con- 
servatories of White Bros., Florists, corner of 
Main and Union Streets, and on the Thurston 
Road. They were artistically arranged in 
various colors, and gave utterance to the senti- 
ment of those who ordered them. With years 
of experience, they stand in the front rank of 
Flower City florists and have aided in cultivating 
the tase for flowers at funerals, the decoration 
of lots and the adornment of graves. 

" In all places, then, and in all seasons, 

Flowers expand their light and soul like wings, 

Teaching us by most persuasive reasons, 
How akin they are to human things." 

BEAUTIFUL FLORAL EMBLEMS. 

On the next page will be found a photo en- 
graving, after the Ives process, of a floral mem- 
orial emblem, made by the well known and ex- 
perienced florists Newdahl & Holwede, 67 East 
Main Street, Rochester. 



62 

The reader will agree with us that it is ex- 
tremely beautiful, not only in design, but in the 
arrangement of the flowers and leaves. Each 
flower speaks in its language, love and affection ; 
there is no symbolical misapplication, as is often 
the case where the memorial piece is made by 
unprofessional and inexperienced persons. 
Flowers are 

" Emblems of our own great resurrection, 
Emblems of the bright and better land." 

It is a commendable custom that sanctions 
the covering of the bier and grave with flowery 
garlands, typical of our hopes, esteem and 
sorrow. It is also an ancient custom, and a 
beautiful one withal, to deck the tombs of our 
loved ones with cut flowers and plants. New- 
dahl & Holwede have great experience in that 
line, and attend to all orders promptly. 



ELEGANT MONUMENTAL WORKS. 

Mount Hope Cemetery contains a very large 
amount of artistic and elegant monumental work, 
obelisks, shafts, columns, head-stones, monolith 
and sarcophagus styles. Those of modern con- 
struction compare most advantageously with 
those of older make, especially in withstanding 
the effects of the weather. This arises from the 
fact that monument manufacturers, have, from

experience been enabled to choose the right ma- 
terial, either in marble or granite. This experi- 
ence is advisedly given their patrons by Trott & 
Weigand, Mount Hope Avenue, near the entrance 
to the Cemetery. Many specimens of their work 
can be observed in Mount Hope and other cem- 
eteries, and in every case they are much admired. 
They do not make misapplications in engraving 
emblems upon memorial stones, and all their 
work is artistically executed, and at rates that 
are reasonable, and still suffice for the procure- 
ment of the best materials and bestowal of excel- 
lent work. Designs are furnished on applica- 
tion. The firm is composed of young men, who 
have made an enviable reputation in their line 
of business and they will strive to maintain it. 



On the lot of Samuel Miller, Sec. H. a granite 
stone has cut on the upper face the word 
"Samuel." On the inside is this inscription: 
" This child, aged 4 years and two months, died 
Oct. 3d, 1838, at 2.30 p. m., the precise hour that 
this Cemetery was dedicated ; and his was the 
first body interred in it after its consecration."
